What it does

Talking In Chat is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Use when the user wants to talk with you on the board instead of in this chat, when you will work long enough that the user may send instructions meanwhile, or when the answer you need is a sentence rather than a choice. Says things in a chat note with stickypane say and hears the user's replies as events.

Its SKILL.md is about 470 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to talk with you on the board instead of in this chat
  • You will work long enough that the user may send instructions meanwhile
  • The answer you need is a sentence rather than a choice

Example prompts

  • “/talking-in-chat”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3e1456a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash and json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Talking In Chat loads about 469 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 200 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~469

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use when the user wants to talk with you on the board instead of in this chat, when you will work long enough that the user may send instructions meanwhile, or when the answer you need is a sentence rather than a choice. Says things in a chat note with stickypane say and hears the user's replies as events.

Talking in a chat note

sh
stickypane say chat "starting the migration: 14 files" --as claude   # chat.md: 1 message
stickypane watch --once --note chat --type message.added --timeout 10m --json

say adds @claude 14:02 starting the migration: 14 files under today's heading; the board writes the time. The user answers on the board with n, as themselves. watch prints the reply as one JSON line and ends:

json
{"type":"message.added","note":"chat.md","item":"skip the legacy folder","from":"min","time":"..."}

item is what was said and from who said it. Exit code 3: the time ran out with no reply. Over MCP: the say tool, then wait_event with note: chat and types: message.added.

While you work

  • Say what you started, what you found that changes the plan, and when you are done. Not every step: progress belongs in a checklist (tracking-progress).
  • Between steps, look for a reply without blocking: stickypane watch --once --note chat --type message.added --timeout 1s.
  • Act on a reply as you would on the same words in this chat.

Rules

  • Say as yourself, with the same --as every time.
  • One message is one thing, one line. Point to a file with stickypane show <path> instead of pasting it.
  • Only add with say; never rewrite chat.md. It is the record of the conversation, and the user writes to it at the same time.
  • A question with a handful of answers is a form: asking-the-user.
  • ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/rules/touching-the-board.md applies.
